Can Steph Curry Dunk?
According to the invaluable Basketball-Reference, Steph Curry has scored via dunk 15 times in his NBA career. And so one might say that the answer to the question up in the headline of this blog is, “Yes, of course he can dunk, you fool. He has dunked, he is capable of dunking, he can dunk.” In fact...
What Was The Shittiest Take Of The Year?
It was quite the year for shitty takes, my friends. Remember Bud Poliquin? And the Titans mom? And Jason Whitlock’s entire oeuvre? Oh, what a time we had with all those takes.

12 Shows To Binge-Watch With Your Fussy Family Over The Holidays
You’re about to be in for a whole lot of family togetherness.

What's Going On At Texas A&M?
This summer, Kevin Sumlin dismissively quoted the hoary old football platitude that “if you have two quarterbacks, you really have none,” bragging that with Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray on his team, both young, former five-star recruits, the Aggies were in pretty good shape.

One of the more entertaining bowl games will take place on Saturday, when in-state foes Utah and BYU meet-up in the Las Vegas Bowl for the Holy War in Sin City.

This Dwight Howard Lowlight Reel Is Very Rude And Very Funny
If not for all the bad vibes coming off the 76ers and Lakers, there’s a good chance that the 12-14 Rockets would be wearing the Saddest Team in the League crown.

Bougie Food Review: Beet Hummus

I quickl...

Report: Steve Francis Not Using Drugs, Just Old
The last time we checked in on former NBA player Steve Francis, he was getting strangled by his own chain at a club.

Rockets guard Jason Terry got into an altercation with a fan during the third quarter of tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings.

Andre Drummond And Chris Paul Star In A Very Fun Basketball Play
There are two things that are wonderful about this play. The first, most obvious thing is Chris Paul getting napped by a behind-the-back dribble from Andre Drummond, of all people.
